am- nice easy 4 out to Starbucks and back. I feel a little empty from fast sunday yesterday.

pm- Alright so here is how today's workout went. So we had 1x1000(@ 1600 race pace) and then ?x400's (@ 1600m race pace) and Coach Holt decided when we were done. Thats why there is a '?' right over there. Anyways, I was supposed to get a 2:55 for the 1000 but I got 2:58. So that was not good but the 400's were awesome! I got back in the mode cause I kinda freaked out after our first lap for the 1000 was 63! So the 400's went 70, 70, 71, 70; then we had a 5 minute recovery and back with a time of 70, and the sixth Nick chose me to lead so I went crazy cause the goal with the person that was leading was to serge and everyone try to beat him. Yah! I held off everybody and got a 68. And then everybody was dying so Coach said one more and that was 70. Great workout but it was super hot, like 90's hot!

WORD OF THE DAY: So yesterday I was in a fireside for mission prep and this lady was talking and said "lapel" so thats todays word! I just thought it was an old person word until I heard it like twice during school today.... I can't remember wh but i did!

I also wanted to say that I got my Kinvara 5's today and I'm pretty dang happy. They are the teal ones:)

am- nice easy morning like the usual

pm- Coe workout today! wow it was super windy like 30mph! So that was cool. Anywho, the Coe workout is a 100m, 110m, 120m, etc. til 200m a pace depending on your mile and 400m times. All my times were basically right on. It was a fairly easy workout but that's just cause we only had one set. And that's cause we had a beast workout yesterday and one tomorrow morning so I got to get done with this! btw, I love the kinvaras, so soft and comfortable but lightweight at the same time. yeahh thats it for today.

WORD OF THE DAY: my word today is from my good friend Warbeast and he said "lynched" and I was like 'what dat?' So here it is today! haha it makes me think of Mike Finch for some strange reason.....

am- wow what a workout this windy morning at 6am! Today's workout was 6x800's @ 3200 goal pace w/ HR checks after two. So I was looking for some 2:29's and here goes the workout. the first two went 2:31, 2:30. Then we took a heartrate check and I was at 106! Wow that was good. Then the next two went 2:30, 2:30. HR after that was 114! then the last two were strong and I went strong on the first and stronger on the second. Times were 2:29 and 2:27. I really liked the workout despite the wind. And it was a solid workout which was cool considering that we have done workouts the last 3 of 4 runs. 

pm- Everybody was being lame but Andrew, Paul, Skylar and Jason and me cause they all went slower than girls morning pace! yeah that slow.... anyways we went ahead and got the usual amount of distance in for 30 minutes. Then we got back and did the youngsters meet and that was cool. haha Coach's daughters like were almost winning all the events:)

am- easy 4 miles with the guys and oh wow what a nice morning!

pm- Oh wow school just flat out sucked today. I just had one thing after another and so I really was happy when school got out so I could go run and just relax and get my stress out. Great run, we did our usual "shoe" run and when we got to the Ells' house and their daddy-o was right there in his car! haha he honked at us cause we still dropped the stuff off. And then I rubbed the eagle on the beak for good luck with the 3200m on Saturday:) got back to the High school and did 4x200's on the track. Great run and nice to get my stress out.

WORD OF THE DAY: todays word is "420" cause I don't even know what that means! so put your thoughts

am- Wow what a race today was! So I really was feelin' it today, like I was gonna qualify for state(9:59.14) and that fun stuff, but that didn't happen. So the race starts and I got out perfectly and just chilled right behind the front dudes (Jaiden, Josh, Bronco) and it was all good first mile, which btw was 4:57. Then the 5th lap came and Warbeast went after Spencer and I should have gone with but I thought I could go later. Then Sage got ahead of me by 10-15 meters but starting slowly gapping to that much. I shoulda gone right on his back but I didn't! Shame on me:) So I came across with one lap left and had to run a 1:10 to qualify but didn't push hard enough the first 200m of the last lap. But I really am still happy cause I got a PR and I now am realizing that if I can just remember what I have been practicing with running right on someone to help me that I can do it. I just gotta do it in the race. But it was a decent race for me so all is well. Oh and our run after was so cool. I freakin' love to run, just thought I would let ya all know;)

WORD OF THE DAY: my word of the day is "ohm" cause I randomly saw it in my Physics textbook just barely, wow I really am not good at Physics people!
